This week the FDA announced that its online registration module and guidance for food facilities are not yet available. The FDA could not comment on an anticipated timeframe for when these materials would be available, however, once the system launches, registration renewal can be submitted online or using a paper form. Registration was scheduled to take place between October 1st – December 31st and FDA could not confirm whether additional time would be allowed for registering. Amy Barringer, Director, Division of Field Programs and Guidance, FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) will be joining ABA’s FTRAC meeting on October 17th to further discuss this issue.
